"We are King."
The Daily Argus-Leader, Sioux Falls,
S. D., says: "Lawrence Evart made
his first appearance in Sioux Falls as a
star Sunday evening. He appeared in
Walker Whiteside's romantic comeoy
drama entitled, "We are King," and
certainly made a most favorable im
pression. Mr. Evart is a larger man
than Mr. Whiteride, which makes him
better fitted for the part. He is an
actor of considerable ability, as was
evidenced throughout the performance
Sunday evening. His changes from
the sublime to the rediculous were ex
ceptionally good pieces of acting.
Mr. Evart is a rising young actor and
is going rapidly to the front. He is
surrounded by an excellent company,
each person having seemingly been
selected for the particular part for
which he or she is cast.
There was a large audience out at the
New Theatre, notwithstanding it is
the Lenten season. The play was ex
cedingly well staged, particular atten
tion has been paid to the scenery and
costumes." At Emporium Opera
House, Wednesday evening, Sept. 18.
Serious Accident Averted.
On Saturday about 12:30 o'clock,
while F. W. Yenzer was driving up
Fourth street, when opposite the Em
manuel Episcopal church the neck*
yoke came loose at one end and his
team started to run, but Fred held
them until he came to Shives'store,
where he steered them to a telephone
pole and they were stopped. No ser
ious damage was done and what might
have proved a serious accident was
averted.
Eastern Pastor in Local Pulpit.
The pulpit of the Presbyterian
church was occupied Sunday morning
by Rev. Geo. E. Hill of Beechwood,
Pa. The learned preacher based his
able sermon upon the words, "Tby
words were found, and I did eat
them; and thy word was unto me the
joy and rejoicing of mine heart." Rev
Geo. E. Hill, Presbyterian minister of
Beechwood, Pa., is guest of his sister
Mrs Andrew Christy Brown.—Forum,
North Dakota.
Purchased Restaurant.
H. K. Knight, late proprietor of
the Crittenden House here, has pur

Donald, of Emporium, and will soon

ing house. They will also find Mr.
Knight to be a genial, whole souled
and a fair and square man to deal with.

Our citizens welcome this genial
couple to Emporium as permanent
residents. They have visited here

DEATH'S DOINGS
CARD.
Eugene Card, of More Hill, aged
about 25 years, died at the home of his
father, Dan'l Card, Friday night, from
effects of typhoid fever. Mr. Card had
been working in the woods in West
Virginia and was taken sick there.
He was brought back home by friends,
but never ralied and death resulted as
aforesaid. Interment was made in
More Hill cemetery Sunday at one
o'clock p. m, Deceased was a young
man of quiet habits and had many
friends who mourn his death.
SIZER
Miss Lucy Slzer, died on September
Ist, 1907. She was born June 27, 1852
and was the oldest of H. F. Sizer's
children. Her illness was less than a
week but her sufferings were severe.
She realized that her going was at
hand and made preparations for her
leaving She leaves one sister and two
brothers, Miss Dora, Nelson and Fred.
Miss Sizer was of a very quiet nature
and only those who were well acquaint
ed with her, realized how faithful a
friend she was.
T. C. 6TEPHENS.
T. C. Stephens, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Addison Stephens of Coudersport,
whose death was mentioned in last
week's PRESS, contracted the fever at
Ridgway and went home about three
weeks ago. The Coudersport Demo
crat says:
"All his brothers and sisters and
parents were at his bed side nearly
every minute, as was also Miss Edna
Auchu, a prominent, estimable young
lady of Emporium, whom he was en
gaged to marry. The shock has been
a terrible one to her as well as
every member of his family, with
whom he was a great favorite.
Deceased was 28 years of Age. He
was born in Hebron, aud spent all of
his life in Potter county, with the ex
ception of the time he was attending a
commercial school in Buffalo and while
working as an inspector of roads for
the State Highway Department, in
which capacity he was serving at the
time he contracted the fatal disease.
Tom, as he was familiarly known,
was a fine looking promising young
man. He was bright, active, honor
able and faithful, and in all his deal
ing with his fellow men he was true to
the teachings of his estimable and re
spected parents, and to them there
must be some little solace in the
thought that he led an upright life
free from any taint or stain. He was
an honor to himself and to his parents
who gave him birth. Tom was a great
social favorite, and there is great sor
row among the many with whom he
associated.
Besides his parents he is survived by
one brother and four sisters: John,
Maud, Helen, Kathleen and Mollie."
LAID TO REST.

Lafayette Lockwood, aged about 84
years died at his home in Rich Val
ley, Monday evening. Mr. Lockwtod
had been in in poor health for some
time but just recently confined to his
home. Several weeks ago he made a
visit to his old home in the state of
New York,where he was taken serious
ly ill, but recovered sufficiently to re
i turn home, but since that" time has
! been failing rapidly.
Mr. Lockwood was one of Shippen

and had many friends throughout the
county. He was an old veteran, hav
ing served his country during the Civil
War.

GEARY.
Daniel Geary, one of Emporium's
estimable citizens died at his home in
the East Ward on Sunday afternoon,
after an illness of about a year. The
cause of his death was cardiac dilita
tion. His age was 59 years.
Mr. Geary had been a resident of
Emporium for many years and was an
honorable and upright man. He was
of a quiet disposition and a man
who loved home life best and when
not on duty could always be found
there with his family.

Select the Best School.
It costs very little more, in either
time or money, to attend a really good
school than to attend one of inferior
grade, and the difference in the out
come is sure to be very great. Young
people of fair education, who have
ability and ambition, give the Roches
ter Business Institute the preference,
I because they are able to discriminate,
Getting on the right track is of the
utmost importance.
Busy Times.
For the past two weeks there has been
something doing every minute in our
town to attract the attention of our
people. A street fakir, a (street car
nival, a show every night and a street
meeting. With such a variety of at
tractions one would naturally think
anybody could find something suitable
to their desire.
The county fair will be the attraction
next week. Although the fair has not
been very extensively advertised on
account of some technicality theclouds
have now cleared away and the man
agememeut are as busy aB can be in
order to make it a success.
Canoe Run Beats Cameron.
The Cameron and Canoe Run base
ball teams crossed bats last Saturday

Canoe Run was victorious by the soore
of 21 to 1, while our correspondent
from Cameron gives their team credit
with winning the game. Who is right?

senting Mr. Evart in Walker White

The L. &M. Zinc hardens L. & M.
White Lead and makes L. & M. Paint
wear like iron for 10 or 15 years.
